Abstract
The theory of the polytropic gas spheres in conjunction with the equation of state of a relativislically degenerate electron-gas leads to a unique value for the mass of a star built on this model. This mass (=0.9I ⊚) is interpreted as representing the upper limit to the mass of an ideal white dwarf.
